Sodium Acetate is an organic compound appearing as white crystalline powder or colorless crystals, highly soluble in water with a weakly alkaline solution (pH 8-9). It exhibits strong hygroscopicity and requires sealed storage to prevent deliquescence. In wastewater treatment, sodium acetate serves as an efficient carbon source supplement, rapidly providing electron donors for denitrifying bacteria to enhance nitrogen removal efficiency (denitrification rate increased by 40%-60%) and indirectly improving biological phosphorus removal (TP removal rate ≥85%), particularly suited for municipal and industrial wastewater systems with low carbon-to-nitrogen ratios (C/N < 3).In chemical applications, it functions as a pH buffer, and its trihydrate form (CH3COONa·3H2O) is used in heat packs due to its exothermic crystallization properties. In healthcare, it regulates electrolyte balance and pH in dialysis solutions and serves as an intermediate or excipient in pharmaceutical synthesis. Produced via the neutralization of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide (CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O) or as a byproduct in industrial processes, sodium acetate is low-toxicity but may cause mild irritation to eyes and skin, requiring protective gear during handling. Stored sealed in a cool, dry environment to avoid moisture and heat, this biodegradable compound is an economical, practical, and environmentally friendly multifunctional solution for industrial, food, medical, and environmental applications.
